Bitwarden passwords’ manager extension autofill prompt doesn’t show up when you press on any input field after last Brave update… it was working before normally. I also tested the same extension in chrome and its working, I also uninstalled and reinstalled brave but it didn’t make any diff.
Thank you in advance for your time,
Best regards,

I suspect that this is likely related to this issue that has been resolved and should be uplifted to the next stable update:

### Description
Server-side (302) redirects from a web page to a `chrome-extens… ion://` URL never complete in Brave 1.91.171. The navigation hangs indefinitely: DevTools Network shows the request as "(pending)" forever, the tab URL never changes, and `tabs.onUpdated` / `webNavigation` events for the target URL never fire. No error page or interstitial is shown.
This breaks OAuth/OIDC (PKCE) sign-in flows in extensions where the identity provider's
redirect URI is an extension page declared in `web_accessible_resources`.
**Regression window:** works in 1.91.168 (Chromium 149.0.7827.54), broken in 1.91.171
(Chromium 149.0.7827.103). Not reproducible in Chrome 149.0.7827.103 or Edge 149.0.4022.52 with the identical extension.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Load the attached minimal extension (MV3). It contains `callback.html`, declared in
`web_accessible_resources` with `"matches": ["<all_urls>"]` (no `use_dynamic_url`):
```json
"web_accessible_resources": [{
"resources": ["callback.html"],
"matches": [""]
}]
```
2. In a normal (non-private) window, navigate to a URL that responds with
`302 Location: chrome-extension://<extension-id>/callback.html?code=test`
3. Observe the tab and DevTools Network panel.

### Actual result
- The redirect target never loads; the tab stays on the redirecting page / blank.
- DevTools shows the `chrome-extension://…` request stuck at status "(pending)" indefinitely — it is never finalized as failed or canceled.
- `chrome.tabs.onUpdated` never fires for the target URL.
### Expected result
The navigation commits and `callback.html` loads (as in Brave 1.91.168, Chrome 149.0.7827.103, and Edge 149.0.4022.52), or — if intentionally blocked — the navigation is cleanly canceled with a
visible/observable error rather than deferred forever.
### Reproduces how often
Easily reproduced
### Brave version (brave://version info)
Brave 1.91.171 (Chromium 149.0.7827.103), macOS 26.3
### Channel information
- [x] release (stable)
- [ ] beta
- [ ] nightly
### Reproducibility
- [x] with Brave Shields disabled
- [ ] with Brave Rewards disabled
- [ ] in the latest version of Chrome
### Miscellaneous information
- Shields disabled globally and per-site: no change.
- `brave://flags/#brave-debounce` disabled (full relaunch): no change.
- Safe Browsing set to no protection: no change.
- Per release notes, the 1.91.168→1.91.171 delta is small (Cardano/Origin fix, Survey
Panelist setting removal, P3A first-launch fix) plus the Chromium bump
149.0.7827.54 → 149.0.7827.103, so the regression is likely either a brave-core change
in that window or an interaction between Brave's navigation patches and the Chromium
patch bump.
Until the stable update lands, the least annoying workaround is probably to avoid Bitwarden’s inline prompt and use the extension shortcut instead (usually Ctrl+Shift+L / Cmd+Shift+L, depending on your setup). If that still fails, opening the Bitwarden popup and selecting the login manually should at least confirm whether only the page overlay is broken or the whole extension flow is affected.
When you click on the extension, a window opens and nothing is loaded. Reinstalling the extension didn’t help.
